Fox in the Penalty Area

On August 21, in the twenty-fifth round of the Chinese League, Anton Xingxing played against the Kunlun team from Xinzhou at home.

The game kicked off at 7:35 in the evening, which happened to be the prime time for dinner.

Anton TV Sports Channel will broadcast live.

When the game started, Xie Lan found out that her husband was sitting on the sofa uncharacteristically.

But she didn't say anything to frustrate him this time, for fear of running him away-although her husband didn't say anything, he still sat on the sofa honestly, which was obviously ready to watch the game.

This is a remarkable improvement for the husband.

In this case, if you can try not to stimulate him...

How can Xie Lan give up all the hard work in order to make a quick speech?

So she sat next to her husband and watched the game with him.

After the game started, she was even more nervous than her son.

She hopes that her son can impress her husband with his outstanding performance on the court and let him accept his son as a professional player in his heart.

What she worries most is that Hu Lai’s performance is not good enough for her husband to find a reason not to support his son to continue playing football...

But it seems that the more you worry about something, the more things come.

Until the game was over, Hu Lai failed to score.

Although Shining Star defeated Xinzhou Kunlun 2-0 at home, Xie Lan felt that Hu Lai's performance was not good enough because his son did not score.

After the game, Xie Lan looked at her husband carefully, and stopped talking several times.

Seeing her like this, Hu Lixin snorted: "How about it? Do you know how difficult it is to score goals in the game?"

Faced with the facts and her husband's ridicule, Xie Lan was speechless.

"He didn't even shoot a few times in this game. Most of the time, he just kept running short... Do you really think the ball is so easy to score?" Hu Lixin chased after winning.

Xie Lan, who has watched such a few games, naturally understood the truth of "the ball is not so easy to score". However, she was worried that her husband would use the question to play, so she retorted: "Although the son didn't score a goal, isn't the commentator praising him?"

At the end of her speech, her voice was getting smaller and smaller, and she seemed to be lacking in confidence. After all, in her opinion, her son is a striker, and the striker did not score a goal. This performance is not good...

But what she didn't expect was that her husband nodded and agreed with her: "Yes, although there is no goal, the performance is actually not bad."

Xie Lan stared at her husband with widened eyes, and asked instead, "Aren't you telling the truth?"

Hu Lixin was not happy: "Am I the kind of yin and yang?"

Xie Lan smiled: "Do you really think our son is doing pretty well?"

"I just said that the performance was not bad, I didn't say that the performance was good." Hu Lixin saw through his wife's careful thoughts and corrected with a straight face.

"As a forward, his task in the game is not only to score goals. He needs to use his position and threats to create opportunities for his teammates and attract the defensive attention of the opposing team-the Kunlun team's defender obviously treated him more Care, after all, the last game completed a hat-trick. When Kunlun's defensive focus shifted to him, the other teammates faced much less defensive pressure. So the forward foreign aid and Qin Lin both had a chance to score." Hu Lai said to his wife that it is rare for him to explain football knowledge to his wife so patiently.

"From this point of view, Hu Lai's performance is not bad. But if you want to say that you perform well, you must have a goal. Otherwise, if you look at the score after the game for a while, his score is definitely not as good as scoring. Qin Lin and foreign aid are high. As a forward, the weight of the score in the scoring system is very high."

Xie Lan turned to look at her chatting husband. She did not say anything, but listened carefully, just like a pupil in a class.

"That's why I said before that you shouldn't be happy too early. Hu Lai scored a few goals, and you thought he had a bright future. He was able to score before because his opponents weren't familiar with him enough, and he despised him if he didn't understand him. In defense, he didn’t treat him as the main goal, so he would give him so many shots. From this game, it can be seen that if the opponent takes him seriously, after careful study of him, his performance will become kind.

"He is a point-grabbing striker. Although he is more efficient than the average striker of this type, he is also a point-grabbing striker and needs the support of his teammates. Without this support, he will not be able to perform at his own level. Come. In this game, Xinzhou Kunlun’s defense only did one thing against Hu Lai, and the effect was very good, that is, when Hu Lai ran into the dangerous area, he could not easily receive the pass from his teammates, especially When in the penalty area, try to keep his back to the goal, so that he can't make a threat by shooting.

"So you see him running non-stop during the game, running to the left for a while, running to the right for a while, don't think he is running blindly. He is just looking for a chance to catch the ball...just until the end of the game , He didn't find it, so he didn't score."

After listening to her husband’s long talk, Xie Lan asked with some worry: "What should I do? Or... just call Hu Lai and tell him these words again..."

When Hu Lixin heard this, he waved his hand quickly: "Nervous... Do you think that the head coach of Flash Star can't think of this? Besides, he is the coach of a team, not the coach of your son alone. Hu Laijin What does it matter not to score? As long as other people can score, the team can win?"

※※※

The team defeated Xinzhou Kunlun 2-0 at home and won. Qin Lin and Murphy also scored. But on the second day of the game, Zhao Kangming led the entire coaching staff to resume the game. The focus is still on reflection.

"Although we scored two goals, it doesn't mean that we have no problems on offense. On the contrary, we must pay attention to the problems encountered on offense..." Zhao Kangming got to the point. As soon as the coaching meeting started, he said Said directly. After speaking, he turned his attention to assistant coach Chen Mo.

Next, Chen Mo will give you a detailed analysis of the offensive issues.

"Hu Lai was very, very closely guarded by the opponent in this game because of the hat-trick in the last round. In the game, a defender from Xinzhou Kunlun followed him completely. In addition, they were very Pay attention to cutting off the connection between the rest of us and Hu Lai. This caused our offense in the first half to be ineffective..."

Through the projector, Chen Mo showed everyone some of the defenses that Hu Lai encountered in the game yesterday.

This was edited overnight after the game ended yesterday.

The review is done through video, and everyone understands it at first glance.

In the first half of yesterday's game, as Hu Lai was contained by his opponent, Flash Star's offense encountered difficulties and did not play well.

In the second half, Zhao Kangming adjusted his tactics, and instead of using Hu Lai as the main attacker, he used his running position to disrupt the opponent's defense and create offensive opportunities for his teammates.

Put the situation alive all at once.

Qin Lin and Murphy also scored a goal each to help the team win.

It stands to reason that the team won, and the adjusted tactics also played a role, there is no problem.

But Zhao Kangming doesn't think so.

"Obviously, with more and more games, the way our frontcourt works, especially the connection between Qin Lin and Hu Lai, has begun to be studied by opponents." He said.

Many people think that the main reason why Flash Star improves the scoring shortage is the joining of Hu Lai.

In fact, the coaching staff is very clear that Hu Lai is of course a main reason, but there is also an important reason that cannot be ignored, that is, Qin Lin, who joined Hu Lai together.

This 38-year-old veteran who seems to be unwanted by the Chinese Super League clubs is still alive and well in the Chinese League. There is no problem with his own level in the League.

As the core of the midfielder who has dominated the Chinese national team midfielder for more than ten years, Qin Lin is a swordsman for Shining Star's midfielder.

The ability to quickly establish a tacit understanding between him and Hu Lai is the key to Shining Star's ability to continuously score goals.

After all, a forward like Hu Lai needs his teammates to pass the ball to him. Otherwise, he ran to the position, but his teammates could not see it. If the football was not passed to him, his wonderful position would be zero.

After more than a month of training and observation, it is no exaggeration to say that Qin Lin is the only midfielder in the Flash Star team who can cooperate with Hu Lai tacitly.

Even Waters can only do it occasionally.

But the problem also lies with Qin Lin.

Because of Qin Lin's outstanding ability, Xingxing relied too much on Qin Lin's offensive organization in the midfield, especially the connection between Qin Lin and Hu Lai.

Hu Lai is an excellent receiver, but Qin Lin is not a particularly good passer who can deliver a fatal pass.

He is a midfielder commander, but he is better at controlling the rhythm, offensive and defensive scheduling, rather than sending a scalpel-like pass at the front of the opponent's penalty area-he can do this kind of thing, but he can't be particularly top-notch. Compared with the scheduling work he is better at, it is worse.

Whether in the Chinese national team or in the Lingnan South China Tigers, he played the most, and his best position was in the lower midfielder.

There is no way for Flash Star, there is no more suitable candidate, so Qin Lin can only play this role.

Chen Mo suddenly thought of something. He raised his head to look at Zhao Kangming, but he did not speak.

Zhao Kangming continued: "Of course, this problem is not something we can solve now. Hu Lai also has problems. His playing characteristics are single and easy to be restricted by the opponent. Xinzhou Kunlun keeps Hu Lai away from the goal area and prevents him Turning around has prevented Hu Lai from scoring well... Next we must strengthen Hu Lai's ability to hold the ball with his back in training."

Physical fitness coach Sun Yi said: "Hu Lai needs to continue to strengthen his physical confrontation ability. According to the standards of a professional player, his confrontation ability is still a bit weak. If he does not improve his physical confrontation, he cannot improve his back. The ability to hold the ball."

Zhao Kangming nodded and agreed.

"But the increase in strength is not so easy, it will take effect so quickly..." Chen Mo asked, "This can't solve our problems in the short term."

Zhao Kangming shook his head: "That's no way. You can't stop him from practicing strength because of this. After all, Xinzhou Kunlun's situation is special. Who called Hu Lai just had a hat trick in the last game? It has become a target of public criticism. And that Anton TV’s ace program contributed to the flames..."

Physical coach Sun Yi suddenly thought of something: "Hey, this show really pushed up everyone's expectations for Hu Lai. As a result, he did not score a goal in this game. Will Hu Lai feel a lot of pressure?"

Hearing what he said, Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo looked at each other, and then Chen Mo shook their heads: "No, that kid has a thick skin. The expectations or opinions of others on him will not affect him at all."

Both of them were Hu Lai's direct superiors when he was in the Poseidon Youth Team. Among the people present, only the two of them have been in contact with Hu Lai the longest, and naturally know Hu Lai the best. Especially when Chen Mo and Hu Lai were in the Poseidon Youth Team, he was the head coach of this kid.

Seeing Chen Mo had said so, Sun Yi had no doubts.

Zhao Kangming began to assign tasks: "Sun Yi, recently did a detailed physical examination and test for Hu Lai. According to his current physical condition, make a detailed physical exercise plan. It will last... three months. It depends on the situation."

It’s about to enter September and it’s only three months before the end of the league.

The three-month period to develop a training plan shows that Zhao Kangming did not expect to solve Hu Lai's confrontation problem this season, but instead looked to next season.

Sun Yi had no objection, nodded and agreed.

"As for offensive tactics, we need to further enrich the wing attack routine. Hu Lai has a good ability to grab points, but he has to face the goal, and passing from the wing can help him get rid of the defense with his back to the goal... The assist ability must be used..."

※※※

After the meeting, other coaches left the head coach's office one after another, and only Chen Mo remained at the end.

After everyone had left, he walked to the door, but instead of going out, he closed the office door, turned around and walked quickly to Zhao Kangming, and said to him: "About who can tell Hu Lai I have a suggestion about the ball, would you like to listen?"

Zhao Kangming glanced at him: "Is that why you just stopped talking?"

"Well, there are too many people, it's hard to say. Now we are the two in this room. I will tell you if you can do it. If you can't, you will treat it like I haven't said it."

Zhao Kangming saw that Chen Mo was suddenly so serious, even a little too cautious, and laughed: "If you have something to say, Old Chen. Why do we have a friendship, what else do we talk about?"

"Um...I mean to say that although Qin Lin's arrival was an accident, we didn't have Qin Lin's position in our tactics at the beginning. Of course, after he came, the benefits far exceeded expectations, which proved that he was right. Dong Wen's operation in this aspect is quite reliable...but Zhao, you know that the original organizer of our team is actually...Zhang Qinghuan, right?" Chen Mo said this, he died. Staring at Zhao Kangming, I want to see how his expression changes.

Zhao Kangming knew why Chen Mo had to wait until only himself and him were left in this room before making his suggestion.

Zhang Qinghuan is a sensitive topic.

"Do you think Zhang Qinghuan is okay?" he asked.

"I don't know. But I have been observing the team's training these days, and then I found that Zhang Qinghuan's training attitude is much more serious than before. I don't know why he was, maybe he was stimulated by Hu Lai, Because he often targets Hu Lai in training...but no matter what the reason, he is training more seriously now, can he consider letting him play?"

Ever since Zhang Qinghuan was detained, he had been beaten into the cold palace by Zhao Kangming.

After the detention was over, he was thrown into the reserve team for a month.

After the expiration, although he returned to the first team, he has never been able to get a chance to play...not to mention playing, he has not even been selected for the 18-man squad.

It seems that Zhao Kangming is determined to give up Zhang Qinghuan completely.

But it was also because Zhang Qinghuan hadn't really trained seriously for a long time. No matter how he doesn’t like Zhang Qinghuan, he admits that if he can play hard and perform normally, he will be a stubborn player in the Chinese Premier League with his ability. He should be at the level of the Chinese Super League...

"If Zhang Qinghuan can play normally, he can solve the problem of the last pass. At the same time, it can liberate Qin Lin and let him retreat to his most familiar midfielder position to control the rhythm and make a qualified metronome. , Can also take into account the defense. I think this midfield configuration is the best solution." Chen Mo saw that Zhao Kangming hesitated, and continued to say, showing his thoughts and ideas.

Zhao Kangming shook his head: "You made our previous mistake again, Old Chen."

"Ah? What's wrong?" Chen Mo was confused.

"Only consider the problem from the technical and tactical point of view, not the hearts of the people." Zhao Kangming said earnestly. "Don't you know enough about Zhang Qinghuan, Old Chen? He has only been training for a few days? Do you really believe that he can reform and rehabilitate? Anyway, I don't believe it. Observe more... don't worry."

After talking about Zhang Qinghuan’s question, Zhao Kangming’s words turned to Hu Lai again: "In fact, even if an opponent starts to study the connection between Qin Lin and Hu Lai now, a solution may not be found so quickly—not all balls. The team can be like Xinzhou Kunlun, spending so much effort on defending Hu Lai. And although Hu Lai's goals will be affected, but he can create opportunities for others to score. If there is a team to do so. , Just to make Hu Lai not score, but let our other players score. What's the point of doing so?"

After Chen Mo listened to Zhao Kangming's analysis, he also felt that what Zhao said was reasonable.

"You are right, old Zhao... I am a little concerned and confused ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Zhao Kangming smiled and said: "You haven't completely separated from the role of Hu Lai youth coach. We are now coaching the Flash Star first team, not the Poseidon Youth Team. Of course we have to cultivate talented young people like Hu Lai, but we also need to consider the team as a whole. Moreover, for Hu Lai, how to deal with opponents like Xinzhou Kunlun is also valuable experience. Don't always think of paving all the roads for him, otherwise he will not be able to improve. Besides, Hu Lai just didn't score a goal in one game. Isn't that normal? Who can guarantee that he should score every game? I think this kind of thinking itself is a kind of unnecessary pressure and trouble for Hu Lai. He was in such a good state before, and I was even worried. Now that I have not scored, I feel relieved a lot. In short, don't care too much. "

Chen Mo nodded, ready to leave, but he couldn't help asking: "That Zhang Qinghuan's side..."

"Don't worry, there are still three months before the end of the season anyway." Zhao Kangming waved his hand behind the desk. "The kid used to be good for a while and bad for a while, but when it is good, he can't hold on for too long, not once or twice. This time I want to see if he is on a whim, or he really realizes himself. Wrong, the prodigal son will turn around."
